Pros

Great pay for salaried managers Flexible work schedule Good culture (only inside of your restaurant) Involvement with community Strong bonds with your team (only at your actual restaurant)

Cons

Severely over-worked Unrealistic expectations of employees Toxic corporatized environment Highly toxic corporate atmosphere where everyone who actually earns money for the company is dictated to by people sitting behind desks in a comfy office in Dallas They will force you to run your people ragged until they quit and then get mad at you for losing them in the first place It will not feel good to force your team, shift managers and crewmembers, to work so desperately in such an understaffed and high pace environment for industry-leading low pay Worst work/life balance you an possibly imagine Shocking level of disconnect from the corporate office to restaurant employees

Pros

-Fellow peers are often lovely to be around and helpful. -3 of 10 managers at my store are genuinely nice. -Flexible scheduling. -Our regular customers are very nice. -Pay is decent. -Easy work, even when busy. (Although it can be stressful from time to time.

Cons

-Only 50% off meals for crew. -Favoritism of crew members by management is abundant. -Bad hours, they keep shifts short if you aren't favorited. -They rely on the majority of their crew being teenagers and not knowing their rights. -Crew is often refused breaks when upper-management visits. (They will comp meals if you ask, but if you don't they will try to get away without it.) -Certain managers constantly berate and belittle crew members. -Because the company is growing more corporate and profit focused, it is becoming less focused on doing right by the crew and treating them well. -Everything has become more and more about penny-pushing and overzealous metrics. -The company likes to portray themselves as being crew-focused and wanting to support the little guy, but that is not how they actually conduct themselves in the treatment of their team.
